Commercial handyman service is built around a different buyer than residential — property managers, retail managers, restaurants, offices, HOAs, and apartment building owners who don't want a Rolodex of five specialty contractors for routine maintenance. Red Stag's commercial program is the single accountable handyman vendor: tenant turnovers, ADA fixes, storefront maintenance, office assembly, drywall and hardware. Recurring maintenance contracts are available so the same crew walks the property monthly or quarterly, fixes everything they find, and reports back with photos.
The economics of a commercial handyman vendor are simple. A typical multifamily property in LA generates 8–15 maintenance work orders per month: a hardware swap here, a drywall patch there, a leaking faucet, a sticking door, a light fixture out, a torn screen, a loose railing. Each of those calls, handled by a different specialty contractor, comes with a trip fee, a minimum charge, and scheduling friction. The same 8–15 jobs handled by Red Stag on a single recurring visit run 30–50% less because there's no per-call overhead and the work is sequenced for efficiency. Property managers who switch from ad-hoc specialty calls to a Red Stag retainer typically cut maintenance budget 25–35% in the first year.
Tenant turnover is the highest-volume commercial service we run. The standard turnover package — drywall patching from picture hooks and TV mounts, hardware tightening or replacement on doors and cabinets, paint touch-up on common scuff areas, fixture swap if anything's missing or damaged, full caulk inspection — gets a unit ready for re-listing in one or two visits. We work directly with property managers' inspection checklists so the unit passes the first walk-through, not the second. Pricing is flat-rate per unit type ($485–$1,285 for 1-bed, $685–$1,985 for 2-bed) so the property manager can budget turnovers predictably.
ADA compliance is a service that's growing fast in LA. Properties built before 1992 are not automatically grandfathered — any 'alteration' triggers ADA-compliance review of the affected path of travel, and complaints can come from any tenant, customer, or visitor. Red Stag handles the small-scope ADA work that doesn't require an architect: grab bar installation, lever handle replacement (round knobs aren't ADA compliant), threshold ramp installation, ADA signage mounting at the correct height (60-inch baseline center), accessible parking signage, and toilet-paper holder height adjustments. We document the work for your compliance records.
Storefront maintenance is the visible service — the one your customers see. A storefront where the brass kick plate is dented, the door closer is failing, the perimeter caulk is cracking, the suite signage is faded, or the entry mat is curling sends a signal about the business inside. Red Stag's storefront packages run on a quarterly cadence: full hardware inspection and lubrication, perimeter weatherproofing review, signage cleaning and re-mounting, glass and frame cleaning, and any same-day fixes the walk-through reveals. The property looks maintained because it actually is.
Recurring maintenance contracts are the deepest commercial relationship we offer. A monthly or quarterly retainer ($385–$985 per month for typical small commercial) covers a scheduled walk-through, the fixes found during the walk, and a photo report. The retainer creates accountability — there's no 'I forgot to call' moment because the maintenance is on the calendar. Most contracts include a small bank of additional emergency hours that roll over or absorb urgent work without a new PO. Property managers in particular love this because their boards see consistent, predictable maintenance line items instead of spike-and-quiet billing.
